I live in a small village in Somerset with a population of just 1,000. We set up a pickleball club in 2018 (Pickleball: the oddly named sport that’s sweeping the US, 21 February).
Four years on and we have nearly 80 members who play regularly. Friendly matches are organised by other clubs in the south-west and members are so motivated by this new sport that the club has set up coaching sessions to develop skills, tactics and knowledge of the game.
